...as I just told someone via email - we often do things in life not realizing how our actions impact the lives of others....you guys impacted dante in such a wonderful way - he felt so at home here and LOVED posting here...

What's more, he had that same impact on us. He was very intelligent and very funny; I tried never to miss his posts, because I would either learn something, or be on the floor laughing at one of his trademark non-sequiturs. I met him a bunch of times but never got to know him that well in person; still, I count him among my friends and always have considered him a vital member of our community.

The sadness and shock from this news keeps reminding me of the day nearly three years ago when I was standing on the platform at Broadway Junction - Dante's handle at the time - and received a call from BMTGuy telling me that Dante was in the ICU. So much time has passed since then that I thought he was well on his way to beating this thing. He was such a presence on this board, it's going to feel very different without him.
